Well, COPYGROUP will copy the main and all alias entries, even if you don't know all of the names.
For COPY. "When selectively copying from a partitioned data set, you must specify every name that you want copied, including their aliases." I couldn't find anything about mucking with the entry point, but I haven't check Program Management. https colon //www-01.ibm.com/servers/resourcelink/svc00100.nsf/pages/zOSV2R4sc236864/$file/idau100_v2r4.pdf -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

I am copying to a PDS because the program objects are in a PDSE but what I want at the other end is a PDS. I will try COPYGRP and COPYGROUP. What's the difference? The description is word for word the same.

But my first question was why you were copying to a PDS before XMIT? Why not XMIT the PDSE? -- Pew, Curtis G [email protected] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
